    Summary

    Frank Iero does not believe in love at first sight. Frank Iero thinks the idea of love at first sight is really fucking stupid. Frank Iero, contrary to popular belief, hardly even believes in the idea of romance at all. Frank Iero is lucky to have ever had a boyfriend in his entire life due to his chronic cynicism.

    Frank Iero just spilled an entire venti cup of black dark roast Starbucks all over his white work shirt.

    Why? Because some random guy just walked past him in the office hallway, and wow.

    Wow.

    Summary

    Modern day cafe AU

    Frank Iero is a barista who at one point really, truly enjoyed his job at the local cafe. But the powers that be (unchecked capitalism) have turned his workplace into something soulless and miserable, a thing he has to get through to pay his rent on time. The only thing worse than the new corporate bullshit is the newest regular: a weird, quiet guy who camps in the corner all day on his laptop and gets under Frank’s skin like no one else.

    Summary

    A flyer pinned to the community bulletin board at Frank's favorite dive bar reads:

    TATTOO TAP-OUT. $350, ARTIST'S CHOICE. I'LL INK YOU 'TIL YOU CRY. (8 HRS MAX). SHOW UP @ MXRDER SCENE TATTOO & LET'S DO THIS.

    He tears it off the board and stumbles outside with a half-empty Schlitz. To drive home sober is but a suggestion.

    ***

    OR, a weird middle-ground between a bottle episode and a dialogue study, in which Gerard Way is a tattoo artist and Frank Iero is an ink fiend willing to take eight hours under a needle in exchange for... well, he isn't sure.

    Spanning a year's worth of tattoo appointments-- trending toward mutual therapy sessions-- and the occasional adventure, Frank and Gerard bond over croquet teams, missing cats, deep fears, and the belief that a city can shatter a heart, but the right person can put it back together again.

    Summary

    Gerard didn’t think he would make it past the age of 25. It just never seemed to be in the cards for him. The world he lived in was not meant for people like him. That’s why at the age of 26, somehow still kicking, he found himself adrift, attending weekly group therapy sessions for suicide survivors and scrambling to make a list of all the reasons he shouldn’t try again.

    He certainly never expected the newest, aggressively hostile member of the therapy group - Frank, who seems to hate everyone and everything on principle - to become the next bullet point on that list.

    Summary

    "Fuck. Fuck, this is such a bad fucking idea, Frank. This is so fucking stupid, you should kick me out of your car and drive until you get back to New Jersey."

    Frank finally feels some of the tension dissolve out of the air between them and lets himself smile a little. "Not in a million years."

    "You know there's no way this ends well for both of us, right? Someone has to get hurt, it can't be this easy."
